I have bipolar disorder, so sometimes I struggle with how im feeling in a given moment, art is what helps me live, its my passion and love.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My favorite art to create is art that can show passion whether it be my own or someone else's for their work. Getting that opportunity to show such passion and devotion to an art in any sense is what makes me feel alive. Painting someone practicing their own craft it let's me feel their love and care and it let's me feel my own when my own mind makes it hard to do that for myself.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration is people's eyes, in their smiles and their life. I find inspiration when I listen to an artist talking about their craft or a musician when they pore their heart and soul into a piece. I find inspiration in the determination of ants and bee's working for their lives, I find it in the care and effort authors put into theor works. I find my inspiration to paint by looking out at the world I am lucky to call my own.
What would you do with $25,000?I've always worried about my future, what things cost and whether I really need it. Im going to college in August, and I know i have to work for my life. 25000 would let me fix not only my own car but help fix my mother's car. It would help me to continue my studies and continue my art by providing a security I haven't always had 25000 could change my life for the better but getting to share my art like this that is winning for me. Thank you.
